It's a parts rig. I needed a FJ60/62 Land Cruiser front axle for the Tacoma (Project 'DramaQueen'). Trying to keep it all Toyota. From my searching I'll be the first person to have a 60/62 axle under a Tacoma or 4Runner. No big deal but still cool.

It was cheaper to buy the whole truck than just the front axle, plus I should be able to get my money back and enough to buy some tires for the Tacoma by just parting out all the good stuff left on the FJ62.

Specs for you guys.

1989 FJ62 Land Cruiser
152,000 Miles
Rust, Rust, Rust!!! It has a lot of rust.
Drivetrain is in great shape. Motor, Trans, Transfer Case all work great.
The Interior is great shape.

Here are some pictures for you guys.

Passenger Doors are in the back of the truck.

I want a set of those, bad. Find me a set and I'll buy them. I've been calling military surplus places to see if they can get me a set.

I found a set of brand new XZL's (38x11x16) and I found an even better set of Michelin tires XML's (38x13x16) they have 80% thread. These tires are rated for like 100,000 miles and a 5070 LB loud at 70psi.

I think I can get the XML's for $600.00 with shipping. Do you guys think I should run them on my Daily Driver Tacoma?

Here's some pictures of the XML's

Those are some impressive stats, but they seem like it would be like rolling around on flintstone tires. I call a test drive with those things if you do get them.

You got your test drive. I'm leaning more toward these tires all the time.

People also say these things are so round and true that they don't even need balanced.

Here's some more information.
